The generosity of community members like you has enabled Northern Stage to grow into our region’s premier professional theater. Thank you. Over the past 25 years, you have made our dreams a reality: from a few dedicated staff mounting shows at the Briggs Opera House to building our beloved Barrette Center for the Arts in 2015; from courtyard performances during the pandemic to building workforce housing in 2025. As we look to the future of Northern Stage, we thank our generous friends who have made a commitment to what comes next by making a legacy gift.
When you support Northern Stage as part of your legacy, you join those most dedicated to maintaining Northern Stage’s mission: changing lives one story at a time. All those who make a legacy gift are invited to join the Legacy Society, which brings together and celebrates our most committed group of community members. As a member, you are eligible to receive the following benefits:
- Northern Stage Legacy Society pin
- Invitation to all open rehearsals and other social events Northern Stage hosts
- Recognition as a Legacy Society member in each of our playbills
- Invitation to our annual Legacy Society appreciation event
